During my research prior to starting development, I read two very interesting articles from the msdn library [1] [2]. My take from them was that there's a spectrum of possible architectures for multi-tenancy and within that spectrum, there

Unfortunately information is a bit scattered across the web about it. The main lines though are this: - at the start of your request, grab a connection to the database and make sure that it's only accessible to that specific request (i.e. e

On my way to build a multi-tenant application I went through a great deal of articles recommending various architecture strategies. I was looking for an approach to organize the data for the app's various customers (multi-tenant). Most reco

I think 37signals has enough relevant hits on HN to their credit that entitle them to a couple of misses. However, When all is said and done, what’s our likely financial outcome from Hacker News visitors for those 25 posts? About $300 to

He meant that the present thread is still in Hacker News, not GitHub and it would be helpful if there was an official GitHub post about it.

We are a company without the cash to try to enforce the NDA Then why disclose your trade secrets under such terms in the first place? On busy streets, I sometimes see an attitude amongst pedestrians, who like to casually jump in front of

In order to learn from a "mistake" there needs to be some sort of feedback. Many programmers make the same mistake over and over because it hasn't yet come back to seriously bite them in the ass, or because the evidence of it isn't clear. O

This might be obvious to some, but I've literally only realized a few months ago that when I write text, I will consult a thesaurus, whereas for some reason I've neglected to do the same when I code. I would spend hours agonizing on how to

Like the author said, you’ll spend a lot more time reading code than writing it, and [python] focuses on guiding developers to write readable code . As someone who reads a reasonable amount of source, I'm grateful for that.

Docstrings should already be easy to detect by editors, so it would be trivial to add a show/hide functionality. Incidentally, one could also use Sphinx to create a plugin for that.

I did get the point, but next thing you know, in some random discussion, here I am telling people that Youtube was actually developed with PHP/MySQL.

It's a mistake to try to anticipate use cases you don't actually have or else you'll end up overengineering your solution. I wish more people would think like this before sabotaging their perfectly good APIs with noise. I'm a huge fan of

I suppose it could be an indicator of your motivation. If you're making 80k and are looking to be paid at least 70k, it might show that at your level, you could potentially get 90k if you wanted, but have other considerations than money.

Very astute point and I would grant that it could be a consideration when writing a program for which you don't intend to ever output content on the web. I personally believe that an extra byte per character is a rather small price to pay

There are very few rational reasons to be using utf-16 instead of utf-8 and I would be as bold as to claim that the two aren't even close in popularity for non-ascii texts, utf-8 is clearly well above. Regarding memory consumption, latin te

Are you making the point that characters in the games were male, hence they were guy games? There have been a number of famous female protagonists in games, it hasn't necessarily made them popular with girls, or unpopular with guys (Samus A

The population of players of video games is dominated by teenager males because the developers of video games have teenager males in mind. I would not be so sure. We all played games like pac-man, goonies, super mario and such. I remember
